hello all,
how can I run ads every certain time , lets say that i want to run ad video every 10 mins , does wowza support this feature or do I need to do it from the video player , please advice regarding this issue .
thanks,
Hey ehuman,
Here’s one way: StreamClass Example with Playlists
This creates a live stream. You can use static content as the source, but it will be a live stream.
VOD = Video On Demand. The scheduler can use static content (video/audio files) but it is not vod.
If you want your users to play a file as vod, then switch to a live stream, this will not do that.
If you want to interrupt a live stream periodically with the content from a static file, this will do that.

Run Wowza in stand-alone mode (/bin/startup.bat) instead of the service so you can see what is happening: log output in the console. When you start Wowza you should see logging regarding this ServerListener, as Randal mentioned.
Richard
Show the whole /conf/Server.xml file.

This scheduler example works by the clock not a timer. It could be modified to use a timer, but as it is you would have to create a schedule that switched back and forth every 50 seconds by the clock
Richard
The included schedule.smil file is the example.

The module affects the time the ad is played not the position. I don’t quite understand what you mean by page. You mean at the bottom of your web page? You would use HTML to position a flash player there.
The example I posted shows how to play VOD files at certain times.

See the steps for creating a live application in the beginning of one of the live tutorials, such as: https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-live-streaming-using-an-rtmp-based-encoder
-
You can paste that code into the Wowza IDE. Or you can download a compiled version as mentioned here: “A compiled version of this server listener is included in the Wowza Modules Collection. Download and unzip the collection, then copy /lib/wms-plugin-collection.jar from the package to the Wowza /lib folder. Then restart Wowza.”

From the article:
To play open [install-dir]/examples/LiveVideoStreaming/client/live.html
Server: rtmp://[wowza-address]/live
Stream: Stream1 (or Stream2. As set in smil file).
Look at the module code. You will see several logging messages like: log.info(“ServerListenerStreamPublisher Started.”);
If you don’t see those messages in your Wowza console/logs then it is likely that the module is not being loaded. Check your Server.xml as per the instructions, and restart Wowza.
What is the name of your live app? If you have [Wowza]/conf/live, then set the PublishToApplication like this:
<Property>
<Name>PublishToApplication</Name>
<Value>live</Value>
</Property>
thanks for your cooperation, how can i add this ad at the bottom of the page ? , is it in same article ?
thanks for your cooperation, how can I run this service on VOD .
I have more than one question ,
-
regarding this note from the article ( IMPORTANT: this server listener requires that there be an application named “live” where the Streams and Playlists are created. ) , what/ where should i create this
-
regarding the first block that contains code starts with ( package com.wowza.wms.plugin.collection.serverlistener; ) where should i use it
-
when i finish all the steps in the article , how can I run the playlist ( example : http://localhost:1935/vod/mp4:sample.mp4/manifest.f4m )
your effort is highly appreciated , thanks for you effort 
sorry for any inconvenience , I tried all the steps but I received the following message:
Failed to play Stream1; stream not found. ( I also used Stream 2 )
please note that I’m trying to implement this service on VOD.
many thanks in advance , thanks for your cooperation.
sorry to tell you that its still not working , I need to run this service on VOD , so I need to play a movie (VOD) then show ads (another short movies ) after certain time , so why i need to configure the live folder ? , I tried VOD and Live streaming and many of your amazing services and all works great , but i don’t know why i have problem with this case 
, please advice , thanks
I did all the steps in article again , I noticed the following line in the article .

I read my Server.xml again and I found the problem , thank you so much guys , I’m streaming from the a Video ( sample 4 ) , but how can I add ad every 50 sec then get back to the original video ( sample 4 ) ?
I want one video to be the main , and other videos ( ads ) to be shown every certain time.
thank you again and again
I didn’t get your point clearly , do you have any example related to this subject ?
